Tell me if this sounds familiar-- I want to be healthy, I want to loose weight, I want to look better in my clothes. I don't want to carry large tires on my back, do a hundred pull-ups, or look like a gladiator. This is about where I found myself 4 weeks ago when I came across Parand's website. eastbaywomenspersonaltraining.com We first met for coffee and a half hour try-out session. Right away she evaluated me, my week points, my goals, and started me out on Pilates to strengthen my back before going into more high-intensity sessions. She is no joke. She will work with you and she will push you. When you screw up on your diet, she'll let you know. I don't know how she knows, but she does. She is also super encouraging! And she really wants the best for her clients. Your achievements are her achievements. Loosing weight, exercising, and diet is hard. It is really nice to have someone on your side who gets it, knows how to get where you want to go, and is with you at every step of the way.

Parand has been my in home personal trainer in Berkeley for the past 5 months ( 3 times a week), and I cannot be more delighted with the results. As a busy mom in Berkeley who has suffered with self-neglect in the last decade, she is the answer to making sure I stay fit and healthy. While I did not start out obese or horribly out of shape, the last years and childbearing certainly made their marks. My goals were to lose some weight and gain some tone and get back into shape. She recommended a combination of aerobics, kickboxing, belly dancing, stretching, weights and resistance bands. Her customized routines, which vary each session are jam-packed with movement and are suited to my needs. She is a punctual, capable and versatile personal trainer who knows more about human physiology and exercise than anyone I have met, personally. She is confident, organized and is amazing at motivating me to push beyond my limits. During this time, I have gained strength, lost weight, feel more flexible and confident. My aches and pains have vanished and I can see definition in my arms, legs and abs. I would recommend her highly to anyone who wants to take their fitness routine seriously.
